About Wills

Wills Maxwell, Jr. started doing stand-up comedy when he was in 4th grade. His teacher didn’t appreciate him interrupting the class and his parents didn’t appreciate him getting in trouble. Due to the lack of appreciation, Wills retired from the business and started doing stand-up comedy again after he left high school. He was a semifinalist in StandUp NBC 2018 and has performed at the Cola Comedy Convention, the North Carolina Comedy Festival and the Cape Fear Comedy Festival. Wills hosted Wilmington, North Carolina’s Late Night Talk Show “Late Fear with Wills Maxwell” for three years. He can be seen every Thursday morning on WWAY with his comedy news segment “What Did We Miss?”
